Surety: Service Providers

“AbsoluteProof assure our clients their work will be safeguarded.”

Protect Valuable Company Records and Prepare for Litigation

For members of the Writer’s Guild of America West (WGAW) and users of InnovationQ’s IP.com, intellectual property is everything. WGAW, the union that represents close to 10,000 of Hollywood’s leading film and TV writers, offers members a secure online Registry to archive original work and aid in the creation of legally defensible records. Every year more than 55,000 pieces of literary material are submitted to the WGAW’s Registry and digitally sealed by Surety’s AbsoluteProof. The seal, working seamlessly behind the scenes of the Registry, provides irrefutable proof of the content integrity and timing of a WGAW’s member’s work, thereby allowing members to prove ownership of their work.

InnovationQ’s IP.com helps companies of all sizes safeguard intellectual property by providing an extensive prior art database, document management system and patent searches. In addition to sophisticated solutions to manage, record and process intellectual property, IP.com provides organizations with a Creative Registry for users to upload records and creative work for secure archiving and legal safeguarding. AbsoluteProof seals all records – including those from IP.com clients such as IBM, Motorola and Dow Chemical – as they enter the system to give users the legal defensibility and proof of time of creation that is so crucial to the IP system. As the back-end system for both IP.com Creative Registry and WGAW’s Registry, AbsoluteProof has time-stamped thousands of important IP records, ranging from high-tech inventions at Fortune 500 companies to the latest Hollywood screenplay.
